The authoress discusses our contemporary revival of interest in the title issue, in association with transformations within humanities, which perceive a dimension of involvement in both the activity of those being studied and the research actions taken. While discussing involvement, its emotional and axiotic contexts should not be neglected. The European philosophical tradition, especially, the British thought of 17th and 18th centuries, has tended to combine the issue of feelings with axiology. In the field of phenomenology, Max Scheler directly combined feelings with axiological issues in his non-formalist ethics and phenomenology of feelings project. As for cultural anthropology, Clifford Geertz's project called 'interpretative anthropology' has been treated as legitimised anthropology of experiencing things. Opposing an intra-psychical 'localisation' of feelings, this scholar was of opinion that the thesis claiming their cultural constitution had been relatively well proved in the context of cultural anthropology, albeit feelings are one of the most indefinable and heterogeneous aspects of our life.

In our contemporary humanistic discussions, 'experience' appears, on the one hand, as a new source metaphor reorganising the field of research (V. Turner, E. Bruner); a 'real issue for humanities, again' (M. Jay); an antidote for a crisis of representationism (F. Ankersmit); and, on the other, as an expression of impossible or even undesirable issues (R.Rorty). Those advocating the momentousness of the issue of experience primarily focus on a border experience, determined through confrontation with the language, discursiveness, expressiveness. Experience is not considered as an attitude or touchstone of reliable knowledge but rather, as an extremely hard-to-access subject thereof, or even an aporia, which manifests itself clearest in the Holocaust-related issues. The questions of witness, testimony and certification, connected with the issue of experience, as discussed by Georgio Agamben in 'Quel che Resta di Auschwitz', entice the ethical dimension of humanities research to be considered as a question of the researcher's participation in the structure of attestation/certification.
